Integrity is never easy. Integrity is for masochists. How else could one explain the nature of people who stand their ground for what they believe in, knowing they are for sure inviting trouble? Why is this word being thrown around everywhere these days without much focus on its meaning? What are the benefits of having integrity, if any, and what is the price that must be paid in return? Prepare to be flabbergasted.

What makes evil tick? In this episode, we turn the tables around and try to walk a mile in the shoes of a villain. It's an enjoyable walk, of course, because the shoes are top quality and convey impeccable taste. What really makes evil tick? If we paused a moment to examine just what goes on in the dark side, we may find there is a lot to empathize with, or emulate, even. Oh, it is not easy being evil. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed our name?

They say that if you hear voices, you got to get yourself looked at. It's a cause for concern. We're saying if you don't hear any voices, that's a problem as well. Like waves over changing tides, these voices at times question, cajole, push us on or look to pull us down. What about the one voice, though, that offers neither argument nor direction, neither challenge nor consolation? Why isn't it easy (initially) to live with it?

We've long been in the midst of a war, a war on information, a war on reality as you see it. Winners get to impose their version of reality on to common consciousness. They get to tell you what your new truth is. With an abundance of accessible information today, our effort no longer lies in scaling peaks and crossing the oceans to get to the truth, but to stand where you are and start digging through unending heaps of vile and toxic garbage - not to get to the truth (hah, no) - but to find a needle that maybe carries a whiff of it. 

It is not easy.

Acceptance in these times does not come easy. For starters, like many other words and concepts in our clown world, the definition or significance of this term too has been corrupted and subverted in the dark of night. Bogus and Brut, your audio janitors try to clean off some of the muck, and present to you a shining example of just why - it's not easy to understand and practice true acceptance.

It's not easy. Nothing worthwhile in life is. In fact it can be used as a trusty barometer in most situations to figure out what's good for you and what's not - how easy is it? how convenient is it for you? how comfortable are you? It is not for nothing that this is one of ThyGap's foundational statements, and that we keep repeating this mantra.

Welcome to something new we're trying out - to expand on just why it is not easy, and this week we're looking at Boundaries. And by extension, margins, definitions, organization, lines etc. Why is this not easy?

The popular phrase comes from traditions of days past, where rival kingdoms had an understanding that messengers, no matter what, would not be harmed. Else it would be seen as an act of war. Great kings had court jesters whose job description was to troll them in public and keep their feet to the ground! Welcome now to the clown world we live in, where the messenger is killed on sight and buried under cover as soon as possible, because why focus on the message when killing the messenger just 'makes the problem go away'.

Bathrooms in this day and age are no longer just spaces for physical relief, but also a refuge sought by many for some mental relief as well. A social phenomenon of the times, our sources tell us (we cant reveal our sources). In this episode, we dive deep into just what is up with Bathrooms and their dynamic that we not only feel a sense of lightness, but also end up getting some of our best ideas there? What is the difference between these small enclosures and the big bad world outside? In the end we blow the lid on how certain secret societies and cults may be leveraging these spaces for making contact with extra-dimensional intelligence!

Welcome to the final edition of True Grit Down Under, a ThyGap special on the legendary Border-Gavaskar series. To wrap things up, we review the series by listing the players we thought showed champion spirit, from both teams. We then take a look at those who truly missed out, and why. 

While the grit on one side is to be celebrated, the grime on the other is a cause for concern. We go into detail why we believe Australia's coach, Justin Langer, is primarily accountable for what happened with the team. And while this episode was recorded in February, more such anecdotes and incidents supporting this have surfaced since. We discuss how the Amazon show 'The Test' too helps shine a (albeit unintended) light on the inner workings of this highly PR-sensitive man. Although this situation is a bit hilarious from our vantage point, there's no denying that it threatens to jeopardize one of the very few strong Test-cricketing teams around. And that threatens the quality of the overall game.

It's the penultimate episode of the Border-Gavaskar saga, and it's the Gabba - unconquered in over 30 years, last claimed by a team led by Viv Richards and to now be the decider of the series. With Sydney claiming Vihari, Ashwin, Bumrah, Jadeja and the Indian team looking under cushions for extra players, the Australian bowling quartet too were taxed, having to bowl upwards of 100 overs each, while that entire team was dealing with something else altogether in their camp. 

We recount the many special events that led to the historic fall of fortress Gabba - the inevitable Marnus century and how that thunder was stolen by his own poor banter skills. India's bowling performance. The sequel to the Pant-Pujara show, and the big-ticket entertainment of the Shardul-Washington partnership. How Rohit Sharma caused an entire country to groan in pain, and made it worse with his justification. Shubman's brilliant set up at the start, and how India's plans on the final day were vague until Rahane stepped out. The best one of all though, was when Prithvi Shaw somehow mistook Rohit Sharma for three stumps and scored a direct hit.
